Printed out a periodic table off web, copied it bigger onto 11X17 paper and clipped that to front of softbox with SB-25 inside at 1/32 power to create backlit background. Front illumination from SB-25 @ 1/2 with Pringles single-pack diffuser! Both fired with Ebay radio triggers. Post: Cropped slightly, adjusted levels and saturation a little, USM.

The blue liquid with the bubbles is a really attractive subject and the entire picture illustrates the concept of Chemistry really well. The inclusion of the periodic table is a nice extra to add more emphasis to the theme and is a subtle but nice addition to the shot.
The blown highlights on the background do let this photo down a bit I'm afraid, so overall I give this a 5.
the placement of the periodic table in the background is a good idea - i liek the bubbles in the test tube but i am not a big fan of the use of colored water type science shots
it seems to me that the lighting on the hand could be a bit better
